LOGROO, 13 (EUROPA PRESS)
On June 5th, once the league competitions are over, work will begin to replace the artificial turf on the football field on the athletics tracks, by the company Mondo Ibrica.
This grass field was handed over to the City Council in March 2015 and inaugurated in April of that same year and represented, in 2015, an investment of 588,000 euros.
As of 2018, well below the 10-year guarantee for the supply of the pavement, abnormal fiber losses began to be observed that have completely degraded, causing the Calahorra City Council, in addition to carrying out the annual maintenance tasks, to have to carry out constant repairs.
For this reason, the Calahorra City Council initiated a liability and claim file against the installation company, so that it could proceed to solve the situation created in accordance with the product guarantee.
Faced with this claim, in a first phase, the most damaged areas were replaced to end the 2022-2023 season: goal area areas, penalty points and joint repair. In this second phase, the entire artificial turf sports flooring on the football field will be replaced, installing a higher quality material that is more current than that installed in 2015. The approximate duration of the work to be carried out will be 15 days.
For this reason, the Mondoturf NSF x3 PLUS 19 45 model will be installed, with a greater weight per square meter of fiber, stitched in a zigzag pattern to favor the maintenance of the fillings and therefore more resistant and durable.
Bearing in mind that this material is of a superior quality and cost that would correspond to installing it in compliance with the guarantee, the council assumes the difference in the cost of installing a higher quality material. This difference amounts to 82,665 euros, VAT included, which are already provided for in the municipal general budget for 2023.
